The Chicago Artists Coalition

CAC is a non-profit organization that supports contemporary Chicago artists and curators by offering residency programs, exhibitions, professional development and resources that enable them to live, work and thrive in the city. CAC is deeply committed to advancing the cause of art and its importance to Chicago’s culture and economy by cultivating a wide-reaching civic, philanthropic and public support network.

The artists in "Tracing the Invisible" summon the unseen forces that reverberate through the past and imprint the present. Featuring works by Jessica Harvey, Anansi kNOwBody, and Marina Miliou-Theocharaki, this exhibition is curated by Kate Pollasch.

The Internet is by design a fluid, mutable space for information exchange, yet it remains a present-minded platform, with links from the past increasingly found to be missing, misleading, corroded, or obsolete.

From the cookbook to the spell book, the mixtape to the manual, the group exhibition, "Modi • Operandi (on recipes, intimacy, trauma & other investigations)" considers the methodologies and linguistic forms that emerge from the artists’ studios.

Intentionally disarming, the works featured by HATCH Projects Residency artists Lori Felker, Jesse Seay, and Sebura&Gartelmann exist in the limbo between youthful counterculture and reluctant adulthood.

HATCH Projects Residency artists Mara Baker, Nina Barnett, and Cherith Lundin consider timeless questions from within a markedly shifting paradigm of perception. How do we define place, and how do we locate ourselves within a place?

What does one do with an unanswered question, an incalculable variable, or an unquantifiable set of details?

Friday, August 22, 2014 to Thursday, September 11, 2014

Opening Reception: Friday, August 22, 6-9pm

What does one do with an unanswered question, an incalculable variable, or an unquantifiable set of details? HATCH residents present a slice of sweet alternatives, generating new chronicles, inclusive archives, and palatable bodies of work.

HATCH Projects Residents Delaney DeMott, Hope Esser and Megan Stroech consider the orchestrated set of systems demonstrated in the gallery setting and are prompted to interrogate the organized structure of the exhibition experience.
